Colombia beef, pork producers optimistic on exports to China

Colombia's cattle and pork breeders are cautiously optimistic they will soon be able to export their products to China to take advantage of rising pork prices following Colombian President Ivan Duque Marquez's state visit to Beijing in late July.

"This (Duque's visit) was a significant step that I believe will open a lot of trade," Jose Felix Lafaurie, president of Fedegan, the Colombian National Federation of Cattle Ranchers, told China Daily.

Lafaurie was part of the delegation that visited China from July 28 to 31.
